How is this product different from the Video Wired solution for connecting to an existing chime

Can you share how this product connects to an existing digital or mechanical chime.

Why is there no Power Adapter

Will the "tamper issues found in the wired solution exist here?"

Hi.. Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free is a battery operated device, that can optionally be hardwired to a 8-24V AC wiring outlet from an existing doorbell / chime system. When hardwired, the battery can receive a trickle charge through the wires and a traditional mechanical or digital chime can be rung. A power kit is not required because even when wired, the functional operation is always from the battery and a very small current is drawn which prevents unwanted buzzing.
